A Mistress aquantance has recently asked me to design a few web pages so that she may gain an online presence. Naturally I agreed.

I'm using wordpress, as it's something I have a little experience with.

I've been trying to decide on a good theme to use for this. A large part of the content will be photographic, plus some written descriptions.

I would really appreciate some recommendations on some good themes to look at. I have a fairly clear idea as to how I want the overall site to look (black with red highlights, good clear fonts, etc), and the theme must look good on any device.

Fonts need to be clear & easy on the eyes - titles can be "fancy" but not text that needs to be informative.

Pages (especially the home page) need to load quickly, so not too many GIF's (preferably none, I hate the bloody things).

Don't keep changing the font "just for the sake of" - e.g. there is a contributor hear & elsewhere who constantly changes the font, colour, boldness & I find it topo much like hard work to read - it just does not flow, which is a pity because there is some good content & they also offer sessions not too far away from me.

As mentioned above, keep it simple. The most frustrating thing to me is mismatched or too bright background/font combinations, popups, scattered or hide to find links and so forth. Make it user friendly rather than focusing on anything else.

yeah,just keep it simple. Depending on your level of knowledge, you can edit most of the themes. Sites like templatemonster or themeforest has tons of it. Be carefull with free themes, they can have backdoors.
